In Riverclan, all seems peaceful. Balance has finally been restored, the rivers flow with prey, and no problems have emerged since a large flood and their previous leader's insanity leading to his death--or is it so? When Riverclan's medicine cat receives a dream of a white-and red-orange-brown cat leaping out of a fire filled with terrified, dying cats' cries, his paws and muzzle horribly bloodstained, and the scent of death and Riverclan around, what does this mean when Scorchtail comes to the Clan from a suddenly-disappearing Skyclan?
